The ModBook is a 1.83GHz or 2GHz MacBook that's been converted into a tablet computer--the first Mac offering of its kind. Macworld Senior News Editor Jonathan Seff got his hands on a preproduction model and made a quick video with Assistant Editor Brian Chen that shows the tablet in action.

Oct 12, 2008 - Wouldn't it be great to have a touch sensitive keyboard be able to pop up instead of using the pen... I bet that will be added at some point... And the keyboard goes away when not needed...

Oct 12, 2008 - you don't know how bad touch screen tablets are. i wouldn't recommend it for writing and specially for drawing purposes. but it's good for touch War Craft or any RTS games

Oct 12, 2008 - pen sensivity is complete disaster, acceleration is crap too, what if I would do something more than just type simple "hello" or clik on a button ? I cannot imagine how possibly I could work on this. Another toy for bored bussinesmen travelling a lot.
